23 “All things are lawful for me.” Yes, but not everything is helpful. ” “All things are lawful for me.” Yes, but not everything helps to be strong. 1 Corinthians 10:23
24 No one should do things that only help him. He should also do what is helpful to others. 1 Corinthians 10:24
25 Eat whatever is sold in the meat market. Don’t raise any question about proving this meat wrong. 1 Corinthians 10:25
26 You can eat it, because the earth and everything on it belongs to the Lord. ” 1 Corinthians 10:26
27 Anyone who is not a believer may invite you to eat with him. Don’t question whether it is good to eat to prove it. 1 Corinthians 10:27
28 But if any man say unto you, This hath been offered to idols, eat it not; Don’t eat it. Because you don’t want to hurt the faith of the person who told you about it and also because some people think that eating that meat is wrong. 1 Corinthians 10:28
29 I do not mean that you think this is wrong. But the other person may think that this is wrong. That is why I will not eat that meat. My freedom should not be judged by what others think. 1 Corinthians 10:29
30 I eat food after giving thanks. So I don’t want to be criticized for what I thank God for. 1 Corinthians 10:30
31 Therefore if you eat or drink, or if you do anything, do it for the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31
32 Do not do anything that offends the people, the Jews, the Greeks, or the church of God. 1 Corinthians 10:32
33 I do the same. I try to please everyone in every way. I don’t try to do what is good for me, I try to do it so that they can be saved. 1 Corinthians 10:33
1 When Abram was 99 years old, the Lord appeared to him. The Lord said, “I am the Almighty God. Do these things for me: obey my commands and live in the right way. Genesis 17: 1
2 If you do this, I will make an agreement between you and me. I will make your people a great nation. Genesis 17: 2
3 Then Abram worshiped God. God said to him, Genesis 17: 3
4 This is my covenant: I will make thee a father of many nations. Genesis 17: 4
5 I will change your name. Your name will not be Abram – your name will be Abraham. I will give you this name because I am making you the father of many nations. Genesis 17: 5
6 I will give you many descendants. New nations and kings will be born from you. Genesis 17: 6
7 I am establishing my covenant between me and you and your descendants forever. I will be your God and the God of all your descendants. Genesis 17: 7
8 And I will give this land unto thee, and unto thy seed after thee. I will give you the land you are passing through – the land of Canaan. I will give this land to you forever. And I will be your God. Genesis 17: 8
9 And God said unto Abraham, This is thy covenant; You and your descendants will keep my agreement. Genesis 17: 9
10 This is the agreement you will keep. This agreement is between you and me. This is for all your descendants: every boy born must be circumcised. Genesis 17:10
11 You will cut off the flesh to show that you are obeying the agreement between me and you. Genesis 17:11
12 When the son is eight days old, you must circumcise him. Any boy born in your house or even in the house of a foreign slave whom you have bought who does not belong to you must be circumcised. Genesis 17:12
13 So every male among your descendants will be circumcised. Any boy born into your family or bought as a slave must be circumcised. In this way, my agreement will be marked on your bodies as an eternal agreement. Genesis 17:13
14 This is the covenant between me and thee, Abraham: whosoever is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin shall be cut off from among his people. For he hath broken my covenant. Genesis 17:14
15 God said to Abraham, “I will give your wife Sarai a new name. Her name will be Sarah. Genesis 17:15
16 I will bless him. I will give him a son, and you will be his father. She will be the mother of many new nations. It will produce kings of the nations. ” Genesis 17:16
17 Abraham bowed down to the earth to show his reverence for God. But he laughed and thought to himself, “I am 100 years old. I can’t have a son. And Sarah is 90 years old. She can’t have a baby. ” Genesis 17:17
18 Then Abraham said to God, “Can’t you continue your promise through Ishmael?” Genesis 17:18
19 God said, “No! I said that your wife Sarah would give birth to a son. You name him Isaac. I will make a contract with him. That agreement will be an agreement that will continue forever with his successors. Genesis 17:19
20 “You mentioned Ishmael. And I have heard. I will bless him. She will have many children. He will be the father of twelve great leaders. His family will become a great nation. Genesis 17:20
21 But I will make my agreement with Isaac. Isaac will be the son Sarah will give birth to. This son will be born at this time next year. ” Genesis 17:21
22 When God had spoken to Abraham, he ascended into heaven. Genesis 17:22
23 God told Abraham to circumcise all the men and boys in his family. So Abraham gathered Ishmael and all the slaves born in his house. Abraham also collected the slaves who were bought with money. Every man and boy in Abraham’s house was gathered together and circumcised, as God had said. Genesis 17:23
24 Abraham was 99 years old when he was circumcised. Genesis 17:24
25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised. Genesis 17:25
26 Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised on the same day. Genesis 17:26
27 And all the house of Abraham was circumcised on the same day. All the slaves born in his house and all the slaves he bought were circumcised. Genesis 17:27
1 I am a free man. I am an apostle. I have seen our Lord Jesus with my own eyes. You people are an example of my work in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 9: 1
2 Even if other people don’t believe me as an apostle. But you must consider me an apostle. You are a proof that I am an apostle in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 9: 2
3 Some people want to question my authority as an apostle. So I give them this answer. 1 Corinthians 9: 3
4 Don’t we have the right to eat and drink? 1 Corinthians 9: 4
5 Do we have the right to take our believing wives with us when we are on a journey, as all the other apostles and our Lord’s brothers and Cephas do? 1 Corinthians 9: 5
6 Is Barnabas the only one who has to work, and we must earn our living? 1 Corinthians 9: 6
7 No one works in the army at his own expense. There is no one who does not eat the grapes from the one who plants the vineyard himself. No one cares for a flock without a little milk. 1 Corinthians 9: 7
8 These are not the only things people think. This is what God’s law says about them. 1 Corinthians 9: 8
9 For it is written in the law of Moses, Behold, the beast of the field, when it swalloweth up the corn; When God said this, was he thinking only of the working animal? No 1 Corinthians 9: 9
10 He was really thinking about us. Yes, that book was written for us. The one who plows and the one who plows should expect to get some grain in return for their work. 1 Corinthians 9:10
11 We have sown spiritual seed among you. So we can get a crop of material things from you. Of course, this is not a big deal. 1 Corinthians 9:11
12 Other people have the right to take things from you. We have more power to do. But we do not use this authority. We ourselves endure all trials so that we do not stop anyone from believing the gospel of Christ. 1 Corinthians 9:12
13 Of course you know that those who work in the temple get their food from the temple. And those who work on the altar receive a portion of the altar offering. 1 Corinthians 9:13
14 So it is with those who preach the gospel. It is God’s command that those who preach the good news should make a living from it. 1 Corinthians 9:14
15 But I did not use any of these rights. And I’m not even trying to get these things. That is not my intention in writing this to you. I would rather die than lose the cause of bragging. 1 Corinthians 9:15
16 For though I preach the gospel, yet I have nothing to boast of. It is my duty to preach the good news which is inevitable for me. It would be very bad for me if I did not preach the gospel. 1 Corinthians 9:16
17 If I preach the gospel of my own choosing, I am entitled to a reward. But I don’t like it. I must preach the gospel. I am just doing my duty. 1 Corinthians 9:17
18 So what reward do I get? My reward is this: that when I preach the gospel I can offer it for free. That way I don’t use the right to get paid for preaching the gospel. 1 Corinthians 9:18
Paul Exercising his freedom
19 I am free. I am not subject to any human being. But I make myself a slave to all people. I do this to save as many people as possible. 1 Corinthians 9:19
20 For the Jews, I became like the Jews. I did this to help save the Jews. Although I am not under the law, I have become like those who are under the law. I did this so that I could lead those who are ruled by the law to salvation. 1 Corinthians 9:20
21 To them that are without law, as without law, I become. I do this to lead the salvation of those who do not have the law. But I am not without the law of God. I am under the law of Christ. 1 Corinthians 9:21
22 I have become weak so that I can lead those who are weak to salvation. I become things for all people. I have done this so that I can save all the people in every possible way. 1 Corinthians 9:22
23 All these things I do for the gospel’s sake. I do all these things so that I may be a partner in the good news of the gospel. 1 Corinthians 9:23
24 You know that all runners run in a race. But one runner gets a prize. So that’s the way you should run: you have to run to win. 1 Corinthians 9:24
25 Everyone who participates in sports is trained hard. They do this so that they can win the crown. This crown lasts only a short time. But our crown will last forever. 1 Corinthians 9:25
26 So I run like a man of purpose. I fight like a fighter who targets the air not like anything but something. 1 Corinthians 9:26
27 So I restrain my own body and make it my slave. I do this so that I will not be rejected by God after I have preached to the people. 1 Corinthians 9:27
